The Four Cs

Diamond Rarity

Diamond

At Helzberg Diamonds, we pride ourselves on having extremely strict standards for diamond quality - especially when it comes to the cut of our diamonds. We stand behind every diamond that goes into every piece of our jewelry, ensuring that it lives up to the standards we have upheld since 1915.

The basics of diamonds has always come down to the 4Cs - cut, color, clarity and carat weight.

Cut: The cut of a diamond affects how well a diamond returns light back to the viewer's eye. A well cut diamond will appear brilliant and fiery.

Color: A diamond's color is a measure of the stone's whiteness, meaning it is actually measuring the lack of color a diamond has.

Clarity: The clarity of a diamond refers to the presence (or lack) of imperfections. Generally, the more imperfections (or inclusions) a diamond has, the lower the clarity.

Carat Weight: A carat specifically measures a diamond's weight. Because of its rarity, one larger diamond is more valuable than a combination of smaller diamonds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Terri678 It's perfect!
I love this ring! We were looking for something affordable but had great quality and appearance. We were searching for about an hour between two stores. The sales associate showed us this ring and I told her and him that it was the one. It stood out above all the rest. Simple, elegant and in our price range!

My boyfriend bought me this ring for our 1 year anniversary, I fell in love with it immediately. It is gorgeous and small, I have very small hands so this ring is the perfect size for me. I wear it every single day...just as I wear the necklace and two bracelets he bought me from Helzberg. I cant wait to go shopping for my engagement ring...soon...hopefully!!!

My boyfriend bought this ring for me for my birthday about a year after we started dating. He couldn't have picked a more beautiful ring! It's a little on the small side, but it was such a special gift. I have had this ring for about 2 years, and since then got a new bigger one. Although I have the new bigger one, I can't quit wearing this because it's gorgeous and has such special meaning...I just moved this ring to the other hand. I think this is ideal for a first ring. It's simple but beautiful and catches a lot of attention!

My boyfriend bought this ring, as my promise ring, on our third month anniversary. We've been together for over 3 years now, and it's the best gift he has yet to get for me. It's durable, and shines so pretty. I have small hands, so a small ring is just right. I've had this ring for over 3 years, and nothing has popped out, and the diamonds are all still there. It's a very durable, very cute, and sweet ring. I hope I'll be getting an engagement ring from Helzberg soon!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by mr2kil4 Good ring for the money
The ring is a little on the small side, but for the price it is sold at it is an excellent value. The quality is still as good as the more expensive rings Helzberg sells. I bought it as a Christmas gift and the wife really likes it. I would buy again.

My boyfriend gave this ring to me as an anniversary gift three years ago, when we were undergrads, and I couldn't have been more surprised by the gesture or delighted by the ring. My fingers are a bit slim, and thus the ring is complimented nicely. It sparkles wonderfully, especially when I take a moment to clean it a bit, and the mounting provides a pretty frame for the stone - it actually makes the stone look bigger. Admittedly, the best part is that he picked it out himself and shared that he was so pleased to find "the perfect ring" all on his own. We've been together for five years now and, while I don't know if he'll ever propose, if he does, I can't imagine parting with this ring (I wear it on my left-hand) - thankfully it fits on my right!

Rated 5 out of 5 by romanticsoul She loved it
I had originally purchased another ring and was very dissatisfied with it, so I went back to Helzberg and found this one which I liked much better. As soon as she saw it her face lit up. She was very pleased and so was I. Thank you Helzberg. I will be back when I get the engagement ring. ;)

My mother has been meaning to replace her wedding ring and has had her eye one this one for awhile. It's a bit small, but she has tiny hands. My dad and I recently bought this ring for her birthday and she loved it!
